Maybe if it were an acutal Men's rights activitst who was saying this. This comes from a peice on Return of Kings, which is NOT part of the Men's Human Rights Movment, but is instead a pickup artist site run by a man who is hostile to the Men's right's movement.

The Men's Human Right's Movment is more concerned with the following:

The unfair way in which family courts treat men with regards to custody, child support and alimony

The lack of services for male victims of domestic violence.

The male suicide rate.

Selective Service and the Draft

Infant circumcision.

Women earning positions of power or being represented as powerful isn't even on their radar. Several of the most prominent men's rights activists such as Karen Straughan are female.

Instagram may be banal, but it is an innovation. When it was started it was a disruptive technology. It may be a bit "weak" of an innovation, but you didn't actually refute the argument.

You're right that these are not ISPs, however they are companies that would be exploited under a non-neutral net. It's not the ISP barrier to entry that is the problem that net neutrality is supposed to address, it's the barrier for those who provide services on the internet, which he did mention.

The basics of the system is if Blizzard sees that you are using a system that you've used in the past the authenticator will be requested less often to log in. Since it seems that only a tech audience would understand what was done I have a question for slashdot. Is this more or less secure then what it was prior to the change?

If you use an authenticator – and we hope you do – you may soon notice that an authenticator prompt may not appear with every login. We’ve recently updated our authentication system to intelligently track your login locations, and if you’re logging in consistently from the same place, you may not be asked for an authenticator code. This change is being made to make the authenticator process less intrusive when we’re sure the person logging in to your account is you.
We hope to continue improving the authenticator system to ensure the same or greater security, while improving and adding features to make having one a more user friendly experience. If you don’t already have a Battle.net Authenticator attached to your account, don’t wait until it’s too late -

There are plenty of companys' parts you can put in a Ford car. Mazda parts fit many of the engines, and some parts, particularly those that have a limited lifespan, such as brake pads, clutches, shocks, struts, tires, and filters are made by many companies. There are also companies that make after market parts for a variety of makes of cars. Ford can do nothing to you for deciding to use Goodyear Tires instead of Firestone/Bridgestone, even though one is a company they own and the other isn't. Admittedly only your "Ford Dealer" (tm) can give you "Genuine Ford Service" (tm) but any mechanic can rebuild your engine, replace your muffler, change your brakes, change your spark plugs, even change the engine, and there isn't a blessed thing Ford can do, except not honor the warranty for damage caused by such replacement. For some forms of routine maintenance such as oil and filter changes they can't even do that.

Pretty sure they'd be covered, parody and all. They might get in trouble for libel, and with them being a Brit company, Paltalk might want to have that tried in English courts, what with the difference in slander and libel laws. They'd be safe in the US though, as it is an honestly held opinion.

Except Telstra is distributing an artifact that contains a work covered by copyright, rather than the work itself. This is more akin to selling a book. They aren't giving you disks with Linux on it, they are giving you a device that runs Linux. And that is a considerable difference. The original manufacturer is liable for covering the software license not Telstra. This would be akin to expecting Wal-Mart to provide you with the sources for the Linux on the Linksys router you bought there (and yes I know they don't run Linux anymore) rather than Linksys. Oh, I am not a lawyer, I am not austrailian, and I am most certainly not YOUR lawyer. Nothing in this post should be construed as legal advice, it is merely my opinion in a debate.

In bees males are haploid and females are diploid. If the egg is not fertilized it develops into a male. If it is, it develops into a female. In mammals the usual pattern is for sex determining chromosomes to determine sex rather than polyploidity.

JPL, it's in Houston, TX, not Caltech. And defense contractors are all over the place. Engineers are all over the place. Plenty gets done outside California, which was my point. But if you're too narrow minded to look at the actual facts, not much I can do. Once again, I'm not saying that California isn't a significant driver of technology, I'm simply stating that they hardly have a monopoly on it. I've never lived in Alabama, but I dislike it when people dismiss places without the appropriate facts. I've stated specific companies and projects, you've only stated nebulous crap. Yes, I'm aware that Intel, AMD, Apple, and many other companies are in California. My point is that they don't have a monopoly, and that the person who stated that Alabama is lacking in these factors is not only bigoted but ignorant. Now, you haven't said anything to counter a single one of my points in a cogent fashion, but you claim that I'm wrong. I've stated specific items designed in Alabama, and you don't provide any evidence of me being incorrect, simply make a blanket statement that I am wrong.

Nope, not joking at all. I specifically sited Huntsville, also known as Rocket City, where the Nuclear Bomb, the Saturn V missile^Wrocket, and a goodly chunk of the space shuttle were designed. I was also including Texas, home of many electronics firms, including Texas Instruments, and Dell, as well as home of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratories and Mission Control. I am not stating that New York, California, or Massachusetts have lacking contributions either, but I was refuting the previous ACs claim that they are lacking in those arts. Thanks for trying though. HAND.

A good chunk of it in Texas. Oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if significant parts were designed in Alabama, there are plenty of high tech things that are. Remember, while Alabama is chock full of trailer parks and rednecks, it also has the High Tech Rednecks in Huntsville, making it a major center for study in physics, optics, and numerous other fields. Oh, and in case you're unfamiliar with Huntsville, it's the location where the Manhattan Project took place. And they took all that concentration of brainpower, and have been running with it since.

Land sailing is only practical in certain locations. I'm not sure if California is one of them, as I have never lived there. Also, the wind is rather unreliable. Sail boats suffer from only being usable in certain locations as well, limiting their ability to be used in non-coastal areas.

Bicycles use energy from humans. While there are many benefits to the human providing the energy this has two huge drawbacks. The first is that it requires that the human become physically conditioned to its use, the second is that fuel for humans is more expensive than fuel for internal combustion engines.

They could still get payed the same by using a big red "rejected" stamp on every patent too under the scheme of the GP. As in you pay an application fee, then you get either green stamp, or red stamp. It doesn't matter which stamp you get, you don't get your application fee back.
